Monitoring Faults
Geologists place instruments that measure stress and deformation in the crust. This is a means that geologists use to try to
predict when and where an earthquake will occur.
Highest risks areas are determined by locating faults that are active and where past earthquakes have occurred.

Fault Monitoring Devices
Four instruments are used to monitor faults. Creep meters Laser-ranging devices Tiltmeters Satellites

Creep Meters
Creep meters use a wire stretched across a fault to measure sideways movement of the ground.QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressorare needed to see this picture.

Laser-Ranging Devices
Laser-ranging devices use a laser beam that bounces off a reflector that detects even the slightest fault movements.

Tiltmeters
Tiltmeters measures how much the ground has tipped along a fault.

Satellites
Satellites use radio waves to bounce off the ground to measure changes in elevation.QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressorare needed to see this picture.
